How Presidents use to vacation
The favorite hunting rifle of President Theodore Roosevelt was a Winchester Model 1895 lever-action rifle in .405 caliber. It was this rifle that accompanied the former commander in chief on a 1910 safari in Africa, as well as Roosevelt’s 1915 expedition to Brazil to find the source of the Amazon River. Roosevelt used his .405 to hunt moose, bear and elk stateside, too.

Obama is not scheduled to return to Washington until Sunday. That’s four more full days of reinforcing his image as detached, aloof, and too damned tired to tackle the jihadi epidemic with the once-hyped energy and passion of a 48-year-old Super-Agent of Hope and Change.

9mm Self Defense Loads
Insights put their thoughts here on JHP
I have to admit, I have gone over the FBI Handgun Wounding & Effectiveness report more than once, and they found HP's only expand in the area of 55-60% of the time, I will also admit there has been a lot of design progress on HP bullets since that report was released. Now HP's work on hydraulics, fill the cavity with soft tissue fast enough and the round opens, and we have seen a number of shootings where to heavy clothing the cavity is filled, and the round fails to open, hardened bone such as the sternum, can damage the tip in that nano-second of impact that is prevents opening, so we know there are failures to perform as advertised. In recent years I have been using expanding jacket ammo that relies on impact rather than hydraulics.
When I attended LFI, Massad recommended the Federal 124 gr Jacketed +P+ LE load for 9mm for hollow points in 9mm.
What is the trade off from traditional HP's and expanding jacket?, well in a word penetration. But ether design does meet the FBI requirements of at least 12 inches in test media, most exceed it, and from various reports I've seen the expanding jacket expands 98% of the time.
The expanding jacket designs do seem to feed more reliability, across the board, they do not over penetrate. They have been getting excellent feed back from the shootings, and there was a podcast somewhere on the net, that Massad said there have been very positive results from Hornady CD round.
So look at what's out there, as we all know some ammo has been hard to get, compare various loads, make you own decisions. Also keep in mind the ammo makers can tell you what their product will do in a test medium, but organic targets are unpredictable, as to how they will react to being hit with a certain round, or how the round will perform in that particular target. As I had posted awhile back, you can hit some people with a 22 short and they will drop like a bag of hammers, and others will soak up half dozen 45's and keep coming.
So we really are back to square one, Training, it ain't the gear that will save you, only your effective use of the gear will promote that.
The human target is a complex and durable one. A wide variety of psychological, physical, and physiological factors exist, all of them pertinent to the probability of incapacitation. However, except for the location of the wound and the amount of tissue destroyed, none of the factors are within the control of the law enforcement officer.
We all at one time or another get caught up in this gun or that gun this bullet or that bullet, and rather than argue about it here on the net, we should be at the range honing our skills.
It reminds me of a young student I had about 5 years ago, he was just getting ready to turn 21, and was taking his CCW class. During a break he came up to me, and mentioned he he had noticed that I was carrying a Browning HP, he went on to explain to me, that on the net he had read that they were obsolete, and and would be ineffective at stopping somebody, and perhaps I should consider getting a Glock 19 as they were proven man stoppers.
There was a moment of silence, and I replied I won't tell him what brand of gun I have and he won't know it's obsolete, & I'll hope for best.

Planning for a Tactical Class
Tips on being prepared for one of those expensive gun classes.
I usually pack about a week to 10 days before I go, make a check list, and use it.
Never take one gun, always have a back-up. When I took LFI I packed 3 High Powers, my primary had an extractor go on the 2nd day. Being all the same I only had to switch out the gun, mags holster stayed the same.
For your own sake dress for the weather! Get the proper clothing, footwear etc. and be prepared for mother nature. If your toes are freezing it's hard to pay attention to the Instructor, and get what you paid for.
I also pack 3 bags, a small daily range bag, a larger bag with ammo etc, left in car. I also have a go bag with the rain suit, bottled water, snacks, bug juice, sun screen etc. Sometimes it's a bit of a hike and 2 small bags are easier than one big bag.
Also have proper mag pouches, holsters etc, if you fighting your gear, you are not going to learn anything
Trying to stuff mags in your back pocket does not work well, If it takes batteries take spares.
But to make the most of your course prepare, and plan ahead.

Year in Review
Pretty busy, got the range finished, installed generator, got the house painted
Training didn't get to do a lot this year, Dave Grossman's Bulletproof Mind, one day at TDI, and a Defensive Knife class.
Gunwise, got a Para TTR, 3 Para pistols (the Tac-Five, the Carry 9, and a P18-9mm), a CZ75 cutaway for class, several 22's. Sold my Colt AR, my S&W 1911, and 3 of the Browning HP's, and a CZ83 cutaway so I came out about even for the year.
Business was fairly good, managed to keep the lights on, the gross good bit less than when I had an 8-5, but enough, and hopefully some of those new gun owners out there will decide they need more training.
2010
Hope to take more classes in the coming year, you always learn something. I'd like to take a class from Ken Hackathorn if anybody hears of one in the midwest, and I'd like to make it over to Boone County Indiana for some of the training they offer.

Oh Lord
Deliver us from liberals
Better to die or bury a loved one than to defend?
These are the people that wolves hunt
Several years ago I dated a very liberal minded woman, she told me more than once if someone broke in her house she just hoped they would kill her quickly, and not torture her. I told her she needed to learn to fight, but she said someone might get hurt?, I gave her pepper spray, she threw it away, as it might blind an attacker. I never could understand her mindset, we broke up shortly after that.

Peacekeeper International is best known for making batons, but its new less-lethal projectile launcher may change that. The Guardian Eclipse is a six-shot 40mm launcher that uses air to propel projectiles such as OC powder and impact rounds. There is no muzzle flash. The launcher can be fired point of aim up to 80 feet. It has a muzzle velocity of 275 feet per second and is scaleable for distance.
Crime rates will climb

Crime Rates
Which is good news, until you know only around 60% of the police depts. report to the FBI, none of Chicago's numbers are on there. Don't relax, it's a simmering pot, and could go into boil anytime once the benefits run out.
It also seems everyone is impressed how much the murder rate has dropped, but remember if you get medical help pretty quick your chances of survival go way up, note the very small drop in Aggravated Assaults, and those go under reported.
Murder is not the way to measure crime rates, but assaults are. Bullet wounds that would have killed you 20 years ago are survivable today, providing you can get medical treatment fairly quickly.

Police can now be at her home in West Lothian, Scotland, in minutes if she presses the alarm.
At least the police admit it will take them minutes to get there, while she may only have seconds, and that only if she has time to press alarm, William Wallace is spinning in his grave.

If you are one that finds weapons handling on TV and in the movies laughable, you'll love this movie.
The plus was it was only $5 at Wally World
Also in the special features section there is a focus on Para pistols, it may be be a bit dark but it was funny.

Into the Kill Zone tells readers about how police officers are trained to use their firearms, what happens when cops find themselves face-to-face with dangerous criminals, the excruciating decisions they have to make to shoot or to hold their fire, and how they deal with the consequences of their choices.

Yesterday
Ohio ccw class 5 guns, 5 students
Sig 357 Glock (model 31?) did well although it was getting to him by the time he qualified with the sharp recoil, but he did pass the qualifier by 1 shot. He did seem to be rethinking his choice of calibers.
Dan Wesson Switch barrel shot well, once we got his finger to index (he could shoot just poor safety habits) We did seem to get the point across about the importance of indexing.
Ruger P95 The guy had the gun sights jacked to the right, as he was gripping the gun in a fashion that he was taking the recoil on the first thumb joint, instead of the "V' of his hand. While I tried to show him a proper grip, he seemed to indicate he knew more about it.
Auto-Ordnance 1911 Well it was a combo of ammo, gun, and magazine malfunctions, with a bit of a ridge between the ramp and the barrel, a number of failures to feed, the ammo was from Georgia Arms?, seemed to not want to feed, and the mags were crap, I loaned him my Kimber but he used his mags, and it was better but not great, he did shoot well, and at the end of range time, I used a Wilson Combat, and some factory ammo, 1st round didn't want to go into battery, but once it was loaded ran well, I think a bit of polishing , good ammo, and a couple of good mags it would be a decent pistol. He did manage to shoot a 100% on the qualifier despite the malfunctions
Interarms StarFire 9mm, student had a lot more hand than gun, and we encountered feed problems with 2 different brands of ammo, I loaned him a Browning HP, and he improved with the first shot.With the longer sight radius, and bigger grip, he was rethinking his choice for CCW. As I recall the guns were pretty highly rated back in the 90's.
All in all it was a long 2 hours in the snow, and cold and dampness. We usually do not get this number of gun problems, or as many trips back to the classroom to get loaners or ammo or mags, to keep everyone running, Jim was able to keep those that were shooting going while I ran for stuff. But I suppose with 2 Instructors, and 5 students we were able to take the time to get them squared away, and send them in the right direction, by the end of the day. We only have 12 hours to train them, and really work to get them thinking about their choices, even the guy with the Ruger admitted he needed to work on his grip so I guess we made progress

The Article refers to the "R" standing for hunting rifle, not so much, the men who formed the NRA in 1871, did it for marksmanship training, as they felt they had seen dismal performance during the Civil War. The Training involved around training of military type weapons of the era.

"Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." -George Orwell
We cannot expect them to read the Miranda Rights, or treat the enemy with kid gloves, war by it's nature is violent, and people get hurt, and die. If one is unwilling to Man Up and deal with the enemy, in a way they will understand, then one may as well surrender. Do not send men into harms way unless you are willing to fully stand behind them and with them.
